THE BABY'S DILEMMA.


NV iour-year.old baby sat on my lap
In the dusk Of the fading day
So HELPLESS he seemed as he nestled tnere'
So dependent on mother and mother.care'
THAT asked, as kissed the golden head,
.What would you do, dear, II Mamma WeFs
\. dead?'
THE ewes met mine with a steadfast look,
That showed neither sadness nor rear
The lips still smiled in q careless way,
AS though my death were a new-found piay'
Not tear in eye or voice as ne SAID:
II would live wiz Gramma If you was DEAD.
s.But Grandma is old and feeble you KNOW
And not able to care for you;
You couldn't stay there" The face gre" grave
One quick, scared look at my face he gave,
Then still half-deflant, he slowly SAID:
ssI touid live wiz Auntie if you was dead.
"But Aunte has boys OF her own, you know
And she wouldn't want any more.
No; YOU couldn't live there" The brown eyer
fill;
Life looks pretty gloomy just now But STILL
With culver Of lip and chin, he said:
SHOULDN'T I live wiz Uncle Tom II you was
deadF'
.sUncle Tom has no wife nor home you Know
And man couldn't care for YOU.
The little breast heaved with It's we'sa' u
Was there nowhere, then, for boy to go'
And he sobbed, as his arms round my necR NJ
threw:
81 would want to die and go with you

she was permitted to visit the littl
hospital.
II was u hot summer. The bah,
faded like plucked lily. Norah her
self was faint and weak from the ex
cessive heat, unlike any thing in tina
cool, green isle, which we are told il
sfair as the smile of Cod 1t was al
she could do to cook and work ant
take care of the children, as well a
bear her own burdens.
But she distinguished herself by ex
cellence.
They also serve who only stand ane
wait" Whatever she did was wei
done. The family soon leaned on hel
as sure and safe prop.
One afternoon she appeared before
Mrs. Weeks with hurried request te
go out.
This is not your afternoon out,
said the lady, quietly. She was making
lace cap for her youngest child, d
sweet little girl, and poised on her
hand, it looked dainty thing. "You
know. Norah, one of the reasons why
l keep you is that you are not always
wanting to run out. l hope you are
not going to disappoint me"
"No, ma'am," answered the girl.
respectfully, II will not, but they've
sent me word from the hospital that
little Mary is worse, and my work is
all done up"
Nonsense" answered her mistress,
shortly; II saw her yesterday, and she
was as bright as she could be. Besides.
l am going out myself. l expect my
sister every moment, and we will not
be home until evening"
Norah's head dropped. Her fingers
clutched her apron to still the agony
in her heart. Mrs. Weeks was getting
ready now to 60.
"You must not leave the children a
moment, Norah, she said, as she
went, "little Arthur is quite feverish.
l would not trust him with any one but
you. And I'll tell you, Norah-you
can 60 and see your baby the first
thing in the morning"
So she did. There was white cloth
spread over the little cot. When she
turned it back with frantic haste, she
looked on the face Of an angel!
All this happened some time ago.
Norah is still with Mrs. Weeks, still
the patient. faithful drudge, who is
$50 faithful and "never goes out"
When the day is over and her work
is done she goes into her little room
and closes the door,
1t is her Gethsemane. Mrs. M L.

A COTTON BUYER NEEDED

With tie opening Of the cotton sea-
son our merchants should direct their
attention, especially, towards inducing
cotton buyer or buyers to make their
headquarters in Manning. The want
of this factor in our trade has been
keenly felt for a number q Years
Cotton in large quantities is yearly
carried from this county to other nar-
kets, on account oE the larger oppor-
tunities afforded by the cotton buyer
to dispose of it, for cash, at its market
able value. We have even noticed
with no little modification, cotton tax
en- from the suburbs OF Manning. q
distance of twenty miles to be sold.
There is no doubt that lack Of con-
idence in this market exists among
the people We Willingly believe
there is 10 foundation for It, but true
or untrue, the feeling prevails among
great many to the detriment ofthe
town. It IS the duty Of our merchants
to put this market on an equal footing
with any other place of like facilities.
To do tAis, tie most available means
at their command is to make the place
attractive for a cotton buyer ii Is
calculated to restore any lack Of con-
6dence that may prevail, and benefit
the merchant by keeping the money
of the cotton seller and his trade here
with them.
Last year gentleman came here
for the purpose OF buying cotton bat
only remained a few days. It has
reached rs that be was induced to re-
turn to his home, Sumter, as buyer
of cotton in Mann ng would keep q
great deal Of this commodity, market
ed in Sumter, away from there. We
do not know that this is SO, but the
circumstances me sufficiently suspl
cious to arouse our merchants to an
effort to protect their interests and the
interests of their town.
Cotton buying in small villages or
towns has quite recently become an
important vocation, and a popular
one too with the cotton seller. We
do not know more inviting field for
gentleman OF this avocation than
Manning. Cotton IS the crop Of this
county, and with the location Of Man
ming, the competition Of two buyers
would bring all tbs cotton here with
in radius of Is miles, and even fGrth-
er on the eastern and southwestern
side. A merchant remarking on this
subject the other day, said he believed
25,G0O bales would be sold here with
well advertised buyer. For the good
of all we want to see two cotton buy.
ers operating here this fail.

Prohibition met with signal defeat
in the late elections in Anderson and
Laurens counties. However, the re-
suit does not show really the prohibi-
zion strength in the two counties it
was more defeat OF what is known as
the Murray bill, which provided for
the election, than an anti-prohibition
victory. Many good citizens, oppos-
ed to liquor selling, voted against the
bill, for tie reason that they deemed
the prohib;tory laws already amply
stringent and sufficient, and that any
further action on the part Of the GOV
ernment would be oppression. They
adopted the conservative plan OF let
ting well enough alone. Legislation
can never force a measure on the peo-
pie without first educating the public
m:nd to standard with the principles
of the desired law. Prohibitionists
have plenty Of laws andto spare. They
would work to greater advantage BY
preaching sentiment il favor OF pro
hibition, than by filing the statute
books with dead letter enactments. ihe
.zer no sc,,ipia, or the viii OF the people
is the highest law yet, except the D1-
vine precepts. ADOPT this code tol

SUFFER- August y. This morning.
at the usual hoiu for the Sumter Ma
tioral Bank to open, persons desiring
to transact business were surprised to
find the notice closed posted on the
door This, Of course, created consid-
cradle alarm, and il few lcinutes
men from all over town were hurry
ing in the direction ofthe bank, where
they were informed that Cashier
Charles +. Bartlett was missing and
that 10 business wonid be transacted
until the directors could meet.
This created the widest kind OF ex-
element and copiectures OF every
kind were afoat Your correspond
ent Was quickly At the scene OF tae eS-
element ,ebnt found it impossible to
gam any definite information on the
subject, save that it was known that
cashier Bartlett had absconded with
all the money in the bank, amounting
fortunately TO a small sum, being Only
$500 in gold, and that his books
were short to the amount of near S20,-
Zoo. 1t is impossible now to tell tie
exact state OF the books, rs lie purpose

late lon on SATURDAY. night, aul he
is said to have left here OF the l1.55
train that iiignt. He Was seen at Flor
eace by two gentlemen from Sumter
and his conduct there was SO suspi-
cious rs to create comment. He pur-
chased q ticket there to New York BY
the all-rail route and too!> sleeper.
Many suppose. however, that the pnf.
chase of this ticket was only a bluff
game and that he has gone West. He
had lived many years Ill Texas nea:
the Mexican border, and some suppose
e.hat he has gone in that direction.
kilograms have been sent all over the
country notifying tie police to look
out for him.
Bartlett's Lond amountcdto $4,000
ana was signed by the best business
men of the town. It IS a perfectly
sound bond. The feature Of the de-
falcation which is creating The NOS:
talk is the fact that the directors and
bank officers knew Of the condition Of
the books many weeks ago; the direct
ors met and passed resolution to the
effect that if his books were moi
Strengthened by the 18th Of August,
they would require his resignation.
It is also said that a number OF his
relatives and friends, including sever
al of the most prominent citizens OF
the town, knew OF the condition Of his
books on Saturday night, if not before.
Barttett's downfall was caused by
heavy speculations in cotton futures.
The bank has suspended payment
until sosle arrangements can be made.
The dedication will not inluGe tie
bank materially, and It will lot cause
any business embarrassment IN tie
town.

The curse of the credit system to
the farmer, was the subject OF al aa-
dress delivered BY a distinguished
T., ianian, Col. Diamond, before
the rece ut meeting OF farmers n At
lanta There is much of what he said
so applicable to our people right here
at home, that we publish a part His
remarks should be pondered We, and
legislative assistance might be called
upon to afford some remedy. Here
is what lie said about the curse o.
credit:
In Southern agriculture, credit has been
the most insidious agent that could have been
well devised The fact that each locality has
but one dominant crop leads 70 excessive
risk. Opportunities 10 get credit leads Us
to 60 in debt, when We do not need what we
buv, and the very marrow OF our lives IS
sucked ont, and finally We die, or the sheriff
liouidates our estate and the end comes.
The worse result Of credit TO the farmer oc-
curs here in the South Fer instance The
Southern planter has 4 plantation Whlcn he
las not money to cultivate; re goes TO iac-
sor and pledges TO him his crop; q crop that
IS not planted, ana p-ccu-es funds VIII
which to proceed with his culture. VIA:
sort of man is this factor that accepts surety
that does not exist. that IS sabject to ric.ssl-
tu6es and changes of weather.
In conclusion Colonel Diamond sad;
t.Nay we not be too willing to keep our
head in the moose of the money king, hop
ing always for uniform good fortune, and
that our occasional good fortune will save
us. This is the most serious question, and
we should consider it for those who follow
as, as well rs for ourselves. This cre@;S
made easy leads leads Us ;nto too large crl-
Srre and into reckless culture. Repeal the
crop lien laws. let the fa>rner dispose OF MS
own crop to who1n and where he chooses
Let him pay his debts;n the ordinary course
as other men do. Il he fails to pay, let hil2
be prosecuted IS other men are prosecuted
By due process OF law suiss Judgment ans It's
